Film | Trilogy of Terror (1975)

Three bizarre horror stories all of which star Karen Black in four different roles playing tormented women.

Karen Black excels playing four different roles in this made-for-TV horror trilogy adapted from the works of Richard Matheson.


In "Julie", a meek college professor turns the tables on a student who drugs, rapes and attempts to blackmail her. "Millicent and Therese'" details a pair of feuding sisters; a frigid, jealous brunette and a kinky, malicious blonde. Finally, "Amelia" (also known as "Prey") details Black's horrific battle with a re-animated Zuni fetish doll inhabited by the spirit of a bloodthirsty African warrior.


Although the first tale doesn't hold together very well and the second is too predictable, this is well worth sitting through for the final segment and, as always, Karen Black rocks in all four roles. "Amelia" is also available separate on video as TERROR OF THE DOLL, by the way.


It was followed by an OK 1996 made-for-cable sequel starring Lysette Anthony.
